THE INTERNET OF THINGS IS FOR PEOPLE

I’ve spent the past 10 years helping people understand that mobile is about people…not devices.

Thanks to mobile, 3 billion of us are now connected, and the web remains the best platform to reach all of us.

So today i’m hoping to get you thinking about the massive opportunity that lies at the intersection of mobile, the web and the physical world.

yet when I speak to people who make things

for the web…

for illustrative purposes only…

http://mattturck.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/Internet-of-Things-2016.png

few are able to situate themselves within

its already massive ecosystem

https://www.flickr.com/photos/smithwithclass/25633623906

because IoT touches so many ‘things’, we've all

developed our own definitions and mental models…

which only rarely touch the web.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/developersteve/24055957073/

it’s also still rare to find a web interface that enables us to inspect or meaningfully control…

…or some variation of these for B2B, industrial, or

healthcare sectors

https://www.flickr.com/photos/wwward0/16321667606

part of this has been down to technology gaps, and the

good news is that many of these barriers are about

to fall away…

EARLY VR ATTEMPT source unknown

technology gaps are however rarely the only reason technologies get stuck…

to better understand what else may be holding IoT back, let’s take a brief journey into the past…

Courtesy Xerox PARC

“UBIQUITOUS COMPUTING”

1998, MARC WEISER, Xerox PARC

https://www.flickr.com/photos/aigle_dore/18594191701

a networked world of millions of connected objects that collect and spit out

data that we (or other objects)may then act upon…

there’s a parallel here with the early days of

mobile, because it’s pretty easy to fixate on

the ‘device’ part…

precious…

but ubiquitous computing was never really meant to be about devices… it was about people

https://www.flickr.com/photos/jamescridland/613445810/

Ubiquitous computing is roughly the opposite of virtual reality. Where virtual reality puts people inside a computer-generated world, ubiquitous computing forces the computer to live out here in the world with people. —Marc Weiser

(still working on text)

although crude by today’s standards, we can see fragments of this in the very first ‘ubicomp’ experiments…

TOASTER + SWITCH + TCP/IP John Romkey, Simon Hackett,1990

JOHN ROMKEY’S INTERNET TOASTER a Sunbeam Deluxe Automatic Radiant

Control Toaster whose ‘on’ switch could be controlled using the internet

WEBCAM + COFFEE POT + TCP/IP Quentin Stafford-Fraser, Paul Jardetzky

TROJAN ROOM COFFEE POT a webcam pointed at the pot provided a live 128×128px greyscale picture that helped people working in other parts of the building avoid pointless trips for coffee

DANGLING STRING a ‘calm technology’ object that used sound and movement to provide an

ambient representation of the office’s ethernet traffic

8FT PLASTIC SPAGHETTI + MOTOR Natalie Jeremijenko 1995

*Romkey also co-created TCP/IP, so we really shouldn’t complain :) https://www.flickr.com/photos/matoken/4681959147

Romkey’s toaster was a toy*, a way to ask the question: “Can we connect this to the internet?” - it was more about the thing, and less about the people who used it…

https://www.flickr.com/photos/macrj/7220740276/

the other two experiments, asked questions that were far less well defined, but fundamentally more important…

“Romkey’s toaster was clever, a technical triumph that took something analogue and made it digital and widely connected. But the Trojan Room Coffee Pot was useful.

It was useful because it understood that all physical spaces and almost all appliances and devices in the world are social, are shared and that fundamentally, above everything else, they have to operate in a world full of humans. ”

— Tom Coates

from networks of self-driving cars that promise to reduce accidents and more equitably use urban resources, to Blood Glucose Meters

that proactively reorder test strips so you never run out…

IoT promises to usher in a healthier, more productive, efficient, and

(hopefully) happier world

right now however IoT appears just about ready to fall off a cliff…

especially at the

consumer levelIoT is here

Source: Gartner 2016

I believe part of the reason for this, is that while the value of industrial IoT is often clear…

NOT to scale

many of today’s smart consumer objects are a bit like Romkey's toaster…

Internet of Things values & opportunities?

immediate ✓

inclusive ✓

user driven ✓

serendipitous ✓

ephemeral ✓

extensible ✓

unobtrusive ✓

I’m not suggesting that current IoT products don’t espouse these values… but I do know that many of them come for free when you create experiences using the web

https://www.flickr.com/photos/lesardevelopment/9520725490/

https://www.flickr.com/photos/mwichary/3645906412

and as it happens, a growing number of technologies are converging that could enable us to embed these values into the way we think and build for IoT

PHYSICAL WEB enables you to see a list of

URLs being broadcast by objects in the environment

around you

Physical Web https://google.github.io/physical-web

the beacon a thing that broadcasts a URL

the specifications for all of these parts is open source.

the scanner (browser) a thing that scans for, retrieves, and

displays the list of nearby URLs

the physical web is pretty simple —it has two parts

*this beacon is made by Estimote but there are many other brands available

intermittently active Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) radio transmitter**

tiny, long-life (~2yrs) battery or

other power source

*many* sizes and form factors

today's beacons are tiny objects that you stick on a wall…

**mDNS and wi-fi direct support are also being considered

http://www.spearinteriors.com/portfolio/space-planning/attachment/spaceplan03/

Permanently broadcasts “I love you”…

Turn me off from a distance.

Change my colour!

Understand how I work and where to recycle me…

Check what materials I’m made of when Craigslisting…

but in the near future, the ability to broadcast URLs may also

be embedded into all sorts of ‘smart’ things around us

the job of the beacon…

https://shortURL.io

is to broadcast a URL at regular intervals…

…which a user’s browser grabs, and displays in a list* with other nearby beacons whenever the user requests it *…it also runs the URL through a proxy to protect the user from spam and mask their presence until they choose to directly interact with a URL

https://shortURL.io

https://webPage.io

the user is then free to follow any of the links… …and then?

https://webPage.io

…that’s technically it. All subsequent interactions between the user and site take place on the web

BUT IT’S JUST A WEB SITE

but it's just a website…

but it's just a website…Friday, 1:09 pm

exactly, but combine a URL with a place and time, and you can do all sorts of useful stuff…

any (web) technology can inhabit one of those layers but the camera API, service workers, web notifications, webRTC, progressive web apps and webVR/AR feel most promising as materials…

web notifications + service workers

webRTC + notifications (to re-engage)

with which to offer situated experiences using small, context-rich applications

Snapchat’s Geofilters are tiny content bundles that become available at a given time and location. Using the Camera API, you can begin to imagine creating similar experiences using the web

the physical web can also be used to expose and enable interactions with physical things…

interactions that are equally serendipitous, and ephemeral,

but can be enjoyed beyond the screen…
